One for the suckers whove swallowed the whole Recognise Constitutional Debate hook, line and sinker... I hope we have some kind of written understanding. I dont like the idea of a treaty because it implies that we are two nations. We are not, we are one nation. We are all Australians before anything else, one indivisible nation. But I would certainly be in favour of a document that recognises the prior occupation of this country by the indigenous people, recognising their place as part of the Australian community and their right to preserve their distinctive culture. But within the notion of one undivided united Australian community where our first and foremost allegiance is to Australia and nothing else. - Prime Minister John Howard, September 1998.
